I found many different styles of dress shoes at really great prices, but for the exact type I wanted they only had two choices. Thankfully, the one I picked was in stock in my size (they only had two pairs total in that style... so I really got lucky). When I asked about selection I was told that they never know what it coming in on the truck but they can look at other stores and have them shipped to me for an additional fee. This place reminds me of a shoe closeout store, but I dunno. These shoes don't feel like they will last forever and they certainly aren't Italian leather, but for $40 they are a good stop-gap until I find the perfect pair of shoes (and those likely won't be from this store). It is convenient to get in and out, and their prices seem fair. If you go in with low expectations or an near-empty wallet you may be pleasantly surprised.

Well, I…read morefound a 20% off coupon in the paper, and after looking online, it seemed like a place to check out. Plus, I was in real need of some new shoes. I was pleasantly surprised. Really nice selection of all the brands I like; Deer Stags casual dress shoes, Nike running, Skechers, and nice selection of winter boots. Price was not bad, and finding size 13, which is usually difficult, was not difficult here. It was slow for a rainy Saturday evening, but perfect for me. Enjoyed having whole store practically to myself, and just casually trying on different shoes with no fuss. Got two pairs of dress shoes, and new running shoes for $99 after coupon, which saved me $25. I can't complain about that, and will be back to get some winter boots later, after I find another coupon in my Sunday paper. :-)

She spent a considerable amount of time using their equipment to analyze my wife's walking technology. She then spent considerable time asking my wife what she was looking for in a sneakers- in terms of fit and function. Tyler then brought out quite a few pair of different brands of sneakers. She and my wife analyzed each pair in terms of comfort and features. One thing that I found quite impressive was that Tyler had the discussion with my wife vs looking at me even though we were sitting together. Many other sales people in other stores tended to direct the conversation to me even though it was abundantly clear my wife was the customer. Tyler was extremely knowledgeable and personable and patient. She wanted to be sure all questions were addressed appropriately and in the end my wife did choose one of the pair Tyler recommended. This was a wonderful shopping experience and we would not hesitate to return to the Colonie store for future needs. Ask for Tyler if you go and we are sure you will also be impressed.

It had been ten years since I was last here, choosing more recently to shop for sneakers at the outlets instead. But I was not happy with the last pair I purchased at an outlet and desired to shop this time where I could rely upon an employee to search, instead of me, through the store's stock for what I was looking for. Vivian did just that. I explained what I was looking for, and described what features I wanted to avoid. She then retrieved from their stock several pairs that met all my criteria. After trying out all of them by walking throughout the store, I made my choice. But I wasn't finished yet. She had responded to an earlier question regarding arch support that none of the brands of sneakers the store carried had arch support. I therefore said I was interested in purchasing a separate pair of insoles that would be appropriate for my feet. She brought me to a 3D foot-scanning machine that showed the shape of my arches. Based upon that information she had me sample several different insoles that would address my needs. Once I made my choice she custom cut the appropriate pair of insoles and inserted them into the new sneakers I was buying. I got to also retain the insoles originally provided by the manufacturer. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Ten days have now passed and I'm quite satisfied with the feel and fit of my new sneakers.

They do have a lot of reasonably priced ladies flats in a lot of different fabrics and leathers. Prices are kind of all over the place, some items were expensive and some not too bad. Large purse section up in the front of the store, prices are comparable to what you might spend at places like Marshalls. They do seem to have footwear for all occasions, from work to formal events like proms or weddings. This would be a great spot to check for men's work or winter boots. I spotted Sperry boat shoes, but they were a little on the high side price wise. There was a decent amount of sneakers, anything from converse to Nike. Very good selection of sandals too, especially ones like Adidas slides. Small section of kids shows in the back corner too. Tiny sock section up front too, but I think you will do better price wise at Target or Walmart.

It's not super discount and it's not consistent enough to be able to find something in the category and size you're looking for every time one visits. Add to this some of the shoes are stacked too high to get the boxes (I've over six feet, and if I can't get to them, I'm guessing you can't either). Customer service is useless. Not bad enough to merit a two-star review but it's a tepid, below average three stars.

It's really discouraging, because it left the store almost bare in July when I witnessed this predatory behavior that only continues to perpetuate inflation. One thing that is confusing is the curbside parking spaces as there is no way to purchase online from what I can gather. Definitely a must stop for back to school.
